It's even hotter here than in Chi cago, 105 according to the thermometer at the "old home stead," which ibii't official, of course. And not a breath of air stirring. Feels like cyclone weather, but there isn't a cloud in the sky, and hasn't been since Sunday. Don't see how the na tives can atand it, but guess the human system can adapt itself to most anything, if the time allowance is sufficient. (Thank the Lord OUR time allowance is exactly 24 hours.) It's an ill wind, etc., etc. For this weather that is killing to the genus homo is peaches and cream for the corn in the corn belt. And WHAT corn! Never have we seen such a "stand" all the 8:) miles from the Chicago loop. It'a tasseling out now, higher than a man's head, stalks larger than a man's wrist, and such a dark green, it looks almost black. Hut our farmer aunt, as usual, refuses to share our amateur ish enthusiasm. "Oh, yes," quoth she, "it LOOKS food, but three weeks without rain, and there will be no ears, nothing but stalk. You might salvage some in the silo, but the only way to make money out of corn is to put the kernels in stock. It'a a terrible life to be so at the mercy of Jupiter Pluvius or whoever it it who han dles the weather in these partsl Hasn't rained in two weeksl" (Our private opinion is, it'a also a terrible life to be such an uncompromising pessimist.) The presidential campaign has started, at far at "the greatest newspaper in the world is concerned," not a day passes that President Roosevelt doesn't get a blast, he's a war monger, a would-be dictator, a liar and a thief 1 . . . We entirely agree with Sam Greeley't friend regarding this sort of newspaper campaigning, instead of making votes for the Republicans it does precisely the reverse. It pleases those who are going to vote Republican ANYWAY, but only alienates those who have any sense of fair play or independence. And why CAN'T newspapers like the Chicago Tribune see that it's NOT the regular Republicans or Democrats who de termine elections, but the INDEPENDENTS! We have no doubt there are thousands of Independents in Illinois, who will be driven by such intolerance and mendacity and intemperance to vote atrainst the Tribune's ticket, when if left alone they might well have gone down the line for Willkie and JIcNaryl While on this subject just a word regarding this talk that President Roosevelt dictated his nomination at Chicago. That is going to be charged a number of times in this cam paign no doubt. Yet there is not so much as a .SHRED of truth to it. No man has ever been nominated for this exalted place more certainly hv the will of the members of his party than was the case with F.D.R. in Chicago a Not only did the members of for him in every state primary convention were just as overwhelmingly for him, and nothing but his emphatic and determined tion if offered him could have Mire even THAT could have done This is not to claim there was any great or spontaneous en thusiasm for him. There wasn't. But there was an absolute con viction on all sides, that to nominate anyone else would be sui cide, would mean taking a beating before the party could even get a start, and there wasn t a delegate or scarcely any in the hall, who wanted to do that. In fact, Roosevelt was far more the popular choice at the Democratic convention than Willkie was at the Republican. That Chicago convention under np conceivable circumstances, could have voted for anyone else, but at Philadelphia, only the miracle of an aroused effective and articulate public opinion, prevented the convention from voting for "ANYbody else." That'a the truth of this business. Rut as the campaign pro gresses, we don't expect manv Republicans to admit it. ..... Not that there wasn't plenty of Roosevelt dictation at Chi cago in other directions. It was, as stated at the time, a one man show, as far as the platform, vice-president selection, and the important speeches were concerned. Rut the Chicago Trio- une keeps on declaring Roosevelt as a third term candidate. He didn't. The party foreed the third term on HIM. According to a friend in the manufacturing business here. the next thing in motor car improvement will be an air-cooling system for summer added to the heating system for winter. If we had to live in this part of the country, we would certainly have such a car and fix it up with typewriter, mattress, icebox. etc., etc., so we could spend "J 4 HOCUS A DAY in it I .....

MINOR SYMPTOMS DEVELOP INTO SERIOUS SIGNS Medical science up to the .still other entitles of the B com present era has been based on normal and morbid or patholog ical anatomy, the structure of body tis sues and or gans and the changes in structure! which the phy sician finds in hit examina tion. Modern med I c a 1 science takes into con sideration not only the signs observed by the medical examiner but also the symptoms of which the patient complains. The practice of med icine today requires at least a practical working knowledge of physiology and of chemistry. Long before definite struc tural changes can be recognized by the physician, changes in function ' (physiology) and in composition of the body tissues and secretions occur, in the course of disease. It Is this earlier change in physiology or chemistry that gives rise to the symptom, the complaint of the individual affected. Much later, when the disease becomes fully developed or "advanced," as the old timers expressed it, the an atomical or structural change occurs, and this gives rise to the sign elicited by the physician's examination regardless of the complaint of the individual af fected. The all too familiar distinc tion the old timers drew be tween "functional" and "or ganic" disease has gone out of fashion in medical ranks, but the notion still prevails in the popular fancy and probably ac counts for a good deal of dan gerous or fatal procrastination and self-doctoring on the part of individuals in the incipient or functional stage of disease. Beriberi (Singhalese for ex treme weakness), also known as multiple neuritis, is rare in America, common in the Orient, and the cause of the disease Is extreme deprivation of vitamin Bl (thiamin). Pellagra (Italian for rough skin) is common in parts of Italy and other Euro pean countries, and In the poorer sections of the south, but rare In the northern part of the United States. It is still uncer tain whether pellagra is caused by extreme deprivation of vita min B2 (G, riboflavin) alone or of nicotinic acid (another entity of the B complex) alone or of de privation of these and perhaps THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Releaied by tha North American Ne-vipaper Alliance. Inc. Washington. July 15. The treasury is grimly whistling in the dark about the problem of the French assets, which may turn out to involve the whole huge problem ot the attitude of the United States toward all the German-occupied territories in Europe. The immediate rea son for the whistling is the re turn to this country of Ambas sador William C. Bullitt. . The treasury has folloa-ed a veil defined policy with regard to the American-held valuables of nations orer-run by German arma Aa each nstlon has been conquered.

Brady. M. D. plex (such as B8 or anti-dermatitis factor and the "filtrate fac tor" and even Bl). Although these fully devel oped deficiency diseases are not common in this country, it is now well recognized by corn- petent authorities and well in formed physicians that mild cases of these and other defic iency diseases are among the most frequent troubles of which people in all walks of life com plain. For example most every day cases of "stomach trouble," constipation, "neuritis," colon derangement (too often tagged "mucous colitis"), anemia, "poor circulation," weak heart and "neurasthenia" are probably due to deficiency in daily vita min intake. Generally the de ficiency is not of any one vita min but of several, especially vitamin B complex, vitamin A and vitamin D. Diagnosis of these milder nu tritional deficiences is as yet chiefly a matter of the Judg ment of the physician. The con- firmation of the diagnosis is the therapeutic test, that is, supple menting the patient's diet with the vitamins which are needed. In any case, even if the thera peutic test fails to confirm the diagnosis, no harm is done. In deed the patient experiences some benefit in health as a rule. QIESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

The problem is similar to the prob lem of giving relief to German occu pied territories in Europe. Includlrg France.

The Germans are still beating the tom-tomt and making hor rible threats their purpose be ing exactly the same as that of savages who seek by noise and frenzy to terrify their enemies and work themselves up to the fighting pitch. Don't fall into the error of thinking there may be no at tack. Hitler CAN'T quit with Britain unsmashed. That would upset his apple cart. A LONDON "spokesman" says Germany has lost 4.000 to S.000 planes since the war be gan. Other London sources in dicate that Britain it nearing equality with the German air force. The best rule, so far. Is to BELIEVE NOTHING about air craft. Official communiques on other phases of the fighting are reasonably accurate, but both sides make extravagant claims about air fighting. DEGISTRATION under the pending conscription pro gram has been tentatively set for September 1, although con gress has not yet passed the con scription law. It is expected that 400.000 conscripts will be se lected and started int training by October 1. This will be MILITARY con scription. Industrial conscription win follow if the need for it arises. Uncle Sam means business. pONSCRIPTION will affect American life profoundly especially if carried out under a government that itches to run people's lives for them. But it HAS TO BE DONE. Successful defense permits no ifs. IJERE is this writers advice: Let's accept conscription as a bitterly distasteful necessity and give it our LOYAL CO-OPERATION until the present emergency in world affairs is past. But let's remain firmly re solved that we'll do away with it Just as soon as it's safe to do so. Conscription, as a PERMA NENT institution, has no place In America. It gives too much power to those who are eager to regiment other people's lives. AN INTERNATIONAL smug " gling ring dumping an esti mated annual total of $6,000, 000 of illegal drugs into the U. S., has been about broken up. largely as a result of the aid given to the narcotics authori ties by an "attractive, middle aged American woman." (They are afraid to describe her more accurately for fear of reprisals against her.) If all citizens gave all the help possible to the authorities, there would be little crime.

The new plant, according to the reports, would use a mini mum of 30.000 kilowatts of Bonneville power and would be established on the south side of the Columbia river. Dr. Paul J. Raver. Bonneville administrator, refused to deny or affirm the report, but it was known that he had a firm ap plication for 50.000 kilowatts of power from an aluminum com pany six months ago when he re ported to the coiiKressuonal id pmpnations committee.

Day5 News AT THE National Capitol WITH John W. Kelly CONTINtnSO FHOM PAOB ONI Judged by the talk now going on. Willkie, say the Roosevelt sup porters, it a fake farmer, al though he has four farms; he is a Democrat masquerading as a Republican and packed the gal leries at Philadelphia and stole the nomination from such good Republicans as Taft, Vandenberg and Dewey. He is a Wall Street; lawyer who was paid $75,000 a year; he has a barber who trims his hair to give it that shaggy effect; when he answered all the quetttont on "Information Please" he was given a chance to look them up in advance, be cause no one could be to smart; unlike Mr. Roosevelt, who is seeking a third term in the White House because his conscience won't permit him to let the peo ple down, Willkie is a candidate because he wants the job. MR. Roosevelt baa wrecked tha Democratic party, aay the Will kie tans. He gave Jim Farley the bum's rush and although Jack Gar ner waa hla vice president he did not consult hlro about a aucceaaor; that Instead of a Democrat Mr. Roosevelt had a soctallst (Hopkins) act aa ringmaster, and Wallace la a Republican and not a Democrat; that Speaker Bankhead waa steamrollered aa were other southern Democrats; that Mr. Roosevelt waa also a WaU street lawyer and the Hyde Park aetata la not the presidents but la owned by bla mother who haa pam pered him all hla life; that despite experience and history of the world, Mr. Roosevelt regards himself aa In dtspenslble when there la no such animal. Anyway, the campaign will not be dull. . e e NATIONAL defense orders are not being handed out regardless. In tha Pacific Northwest are a number or concerns who are sitting down waiting for orders to be given them. The way to obtain orders la to notify the National Defense Advisory Com mission what your plant equipment Is and what kind of orders you can fill.

The indict ment involved alleged padding of a dock board payroll during the week preceding the Febru ary 20 run-off primary in which ' Long was defeatd for the gov-I ernorship by Sam Houston Jones. Sixteen men were listed in the indictment as payroll "dead heads." No charges were made against them. Long was the second former governor to be indicted since the Louisiana political scandals broke 13 months ago and brought tumbling down the pol itical regime established by his brother, the late Louisiana "kingfish."
